This website does not track you
We say it first because it is what most people come to this page to find out. The site installs no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies and no social media cookies. There is no Google Analytics, there is no Meta pixel, there is no advertising network, and there is no consent banner, because there is nothing to consent to.
That is a deliberate decision rather than an oversight. A firm whose work consists of holding other people's tax affairs in confidence should not be building behavioural profiles of the people who read its guides. The cost is that we know very little about how the site is used; we consider that a fair price.
So what is stored?
Only what is strictly necessary for the website to work, which article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 exempts from the consent requirement:
- Your browser's cache. Style sheets, fonts and images are stored locally so that they do not have to be downloaded again on every page. This is a browser function rather than a cookie, it contains nothing about you, and it is cleared whenever you clear your browsing data.
- The technical data of a form submission. If you send us a form, the details of that submission are handled by FormCarry acting as a processor on our behalf. That is processing of the data you chose to send us, not tracking of your browsing, and it is described in our privacy policy.
Nothing on this site follows you to another website, and nothing we store allows anyone to reconstruct which pages you read.
What that means in practice
Several things that are normal elsewhere simply do not happen here. We cannot tell you how many people read a given guide, or which municipal page performs best, or where a visitor came from. We do not retarget readers with advertising, because we run none. We do not share an audience with any platform. And we do not ask you to click through a consent dialogue before reading a page, which is the visible consequence of all of the above.
If you have arrived here from a link on a third-party site, that site may have set its own cookies before you left it. Those are its responsibility and are governed by its own policy, not by this one.
Embedded content
Where a page on this site includes a calculator or an interactive tool, it runs in your own browser. It does not send what you type to us, and the figures you enter are not stored on our side. If you want us to look at a calculation, you have to send it to us deliberately, through a form or by email.
If this ever changes
If in future we add any measurement tool, a consent notice will appear before anything is installed, you will be able to refuse it as easily as accept it, and we will update this page with the new date. We would also explain what the tool is and why we decided we needed it, because a page like this is worth nothing if it is not kept true.
How to control cookies in any case
Your browser lets you block and delete cookies from any website through its privacy settings, and it also lets you browse in a private window that discards everything at the end of the session. On this website you will not notice the difference, because there is nothing here that depends on a cookie.
The main browsers all place these controls in the same general area of their settings, usually under a heading such as privacy, security or site data, where you can review what a site has stored and remove it. If you clear the cache for this site, the only effect will be that the next page takes slightly longer to load while the styles are downloaded again.
What a cookie is, and why the rule exists
A cookie is a small file that a website asks your browser to store and hands back to the site on each later visit. That mechanism is what allows a shop to remember a basket, and equally what allows an advertising network to recognise the same browser across thousands of unrelated sites. European law therefore does not ban cookies; it requires informed consent before anything is stored that is not strictly necessary to provide the service you asked for, which is the rule set out in article 22.2 of Law 34/2002 and reinforced by the General Data Protection Regulation. The consent banners that have become universal are the visible consequence of sites choosing to store things that fall outside that exemption. A site that stores nothing beyond the strictly necessary has no banner to show, which is why this one does not.
